Reader Question: What Beauty Stuff Should I Rock for Coachella?

I'm sure you've all hear the buzz, but Coachella is coming up fast and furious -- and with three weekends of festivities (pun intended), a girl's gotta look good. And although I can't head out to Cali myself this year, I have been to a festival or two (my editor has been to too many) and I know what you need to have on hand when you spend 4 days in the sun but still want to look hot -- and not in that sweaty way. Check out these five must-have products you should seriously have with you before you start rocking out.

BB CREAM: We love this staple for many reasons, but we’re particularly obsessed with some of the new formulas on the market. Aveeno Clear Complexion BB Cream, $17, is oil-free (so no breakouts while you sweat in the sun), has a solid SPF of 30 and gives just enough color to smooth out your skin tone without making you look like that girl who put on way too much makeup for Coachella. If you’ve got super-oily skin to begin with, try Dr. Brandt BB Matte, $39, which instantly erases any greasy sheen from your mug.

HAIR PERFUME: A ponytail can hide greasy roots, but unfortch standing in the sun for four days without washing your hair may require more than an elastic band can provide. Oribe Cote d’Azur Hair Refresher, $22, is a yummy-smelling spray that cuts odor and static without caking up like dry shampoo can. Or you can get totally fancy (like my editor totally would) and rock Viktor & Rolf Flower Bombilicious Hair Mist, $45, which smells just like its namesake perfume, but is free of the drying chemicals found in traditional fragrances.

HYDRATING LIP TINT:Clinique Black Honey Lip Duo , $21 — a double-sided lip duo with a sheer lipstick and SPF 15 long lasting lip gloss on — is a must. Whether you are wearing the gloss during the day or rocking a little lipstick at a late-night VIP party, it’s instant hotness. Plus, Black Honey looks good on legit everyone. And, if you’re really into a wild look, swipe on a layer of SPF on your lips after applying one of the electric-hued lipsticks from Ofra Cosmetics, $13, which contain Vitamin E to help soothe your pout while depositing a serious amount of pigment, to boot.

SUNSCREEN: I am the palest person on the planet, but even if you’re not, MDSolarSciences Quick Dry Body Spray SPF 40, $20, should be the headliner of your beauty bag. You can’t carry this on to a flight, but I would totally check my bag for it: Plenty of SPF, super quick drying, water resistant for 80 minutes (that’s a full Father John Misty set, right?) and sprayable from any angle. Plus, spritz a little on your part and you’ll prevent that ouch-tastic scalp burn that inevitably happens at festivals. Need something non-aerosol? Try Yes to Cucumbers Natural Sunscreen SPF 30 Stick, $9, which makes covering all your skin’s nooks and crannies a non-issue and smells remarkably fresh.

NAIL ART: Awesome nails are basically a prerequisite for Coachella, but who has time to go sit in a nail salon for hours in the name of festival prep? Instead, pick up Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips, $8.50. They are super cute, cost less than a mani and you can totally do them on the road (as long as you not driving, obvs). They also come in this awesome tie-dye print, too. What’s more music festival than that?
